SIP Challenge #67 - Sketch Challenge!

 Hello!  Hope you are having a wonderful week!  I had a wonderful weekend but as usual, it didn't last long enough!  Since it's Tuesday, I'm back over at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge Blog today with my take on a fun sketch challenge!  I LOVE sketches!  

I decided to use the Weather Together Bundle again this week!  Here's my card!

Wasn't this a great sketch!  I loved it!  I used a Night of Navy Cardbase that measured 11" x 4 1/4" (scored at 5 1/2").  Next I  layered on a Soft Sky 4" x 5 1/4" cardstock that embossed with a fabulous Taylored Expressions Embossing Folder called Raindrops!  I adore this embossing folder.  It was one of those "must have" moments when I saw it and this is the first time I've used it!  I knew I would though although I've probably had it a year or more. LOL  My horizontal layer of Night of Navy had a piece of Soft Sky DSP from the Subtles DSP Paper stack.  I then ran a piece of Navy Seam Binding around that piece and tied a bow on the left side of it before adhering it with Fast Fuse to the Rain Drop layer!  My vertical layers were Night of Navy with Whisper White.  I stamped the sentiment from Weather Together in Dapper Denim on the bottom of the Whisper White.  My umbrella handle was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Smoky Slate and cut out with the coordinating die.  The umbrella top was cut from a piece of Blooms and Bliss DSP.  I added a super thin piece of blue ribbon that I had in my stash around the handle of the umbrella to finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

ICS Blog Hop - Fabulous Framelits!

Hello and Welcome to Inspire, Create, & Share's Fabulous Framelits Blog Hop!  If you have already been hopping you should have landed here from Deb Naylor's fabulous blog and I'd like to thank you for continuing on the hop!  Stampin' Up! has so many fabulous stamp sets with matching framelits that I have to admit this was a tough decision!  I mean really how do you choose with so many great sets!  Well my decision was really down to which set I hadn't had time to play around with!  lol  So Weather Together and the coordinating Umbrella Weather Framelits Dies was the winner!

I started with an 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" piece of Dapper Denim Cardstock that was scored at 4 1/4".  My next layer was a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White Cardstock.  My top layer was a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of Soft Sky Cardstock that was sponged along the edges as well as some random circular motions with Dapper Denim Ink.  I added three clouds cut from the framelits in Basic Gray and then sponged along the edges with Dapper Denim.  The small one was attached with Snail adhesive and the large clouds were attached with Dimensionals.  I also cut out some of the rain drops from the framelits in soft sky and attached them with a Fine Tip Glue Pen.  I also layered some of the glue onto the top of the rain drops to give them some dimension.  I stamped my umbrella handle with Dapper Denim onto Basic Gray cardstock and cut them out with the Framelits as well.  The bottom umbrella was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock with Rich Razzleberry Ink and the top umbrella was simply cut with a piece of Playful Palette DSP.  I stamped the "we'll weather this together" sentiment from the Weather Together stamp set with Dapper Denim Ink onto a 1/2" strip of Whisper White Cardstock.  I used my Paper Snips to cut a banner end on the right side of the sentiment and tucked the left side under one of the umbrellas.  Lastly I used my Fine Tip Glue Pen to add a few sequins.  This was such a simple yet fun card to make.  If you don't have this set yet, why don't you?  It's fabulous!
